What our reviewers liked and didn't
Disco 30
- Exceptional comfort for side and restless sleepers due to unique Spoon shape
- Thermo Gills effectively regulate temperature and prevent overheating
- Hydrophobic down performs better in damp conditions than untreated down
- Durable shell fabric stands up to regular use in the backcountry
- Draft collar and zipper baffle provide effective cold air sealing
- Heavier and bulkier than ultralight mummy bags with similar temperature ratings
- 650-fill power down is good but not top-tier for warmth-to-weight ratio
- Not ideal for extreme cold, best suited for true three-season use
Alsek 22°
- Exceptional warmth-to-weight ratio
- Superior draft collar for effective cold air seal
- Secure and effective pad attachment system
- Premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship
- Excellent compressibility for packability
- Ethically sourced, high-fill-power down
- Higher price point compared to mass-produced alternatives
- Quilt style may not suit all sleepers (e.g., side sleepers used to bags)
- Requires a separate sleeping pad for insulation below
- Slight learning curve for optimal setup
